Klonopin? What is the difference between it and xanax?!


Question: Klonopin!? What is the difference between it and xanax!?
Is it addictive, and does it work in the same amount of time as xanax does or does it have to build up in your system for awhile like antidepressants do before it is effective!? Also i have insomnia, xanax works well for me for sleep but it is highly addictive so I want to avoid it, i have tried ambien, it was horrible and didnt work, Ive also tried lunesta, restoril, benadryl, I am looking for alternative solutions to help me sleep, that dont make you feel hungover, or goofy and is not addictive, any suggestions, ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Clonopin and Xanax both belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, with a different molecular strucrure
Clonopin (Clonazepam) affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause seizures or symptoms of panic disorder!. It is used specially for patients with seizures or panic disorders!.
Xanax (Alprazolam) also affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety!.
It is used to treat anxiety caused by depressionWww@Answer-Health@Com

Xanax and Klonopin are in the same family of drugs and both have an onset of less than 1 hour, xanax is maximum effectiveness is at exactly one hour!. Anyway, yes it is a sedative and will help you sleep!. You obviously are having difficulty sleeping especially if sleeping pills are not working out for you!. I would recommend seeing a sleep doctor and getting a sleep study done!. At this point you need more support!. Sometimes melatonin tablets can help to fall asleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No but yea!. You're good for staying away from xany's!.
Clonazepam and xanax are both benzodiazapines!. Klonopin is said to be approx!. half the strengh of xanax!. However, klonopin lasts longer and is metabolized slower in the body!. Klonopin is directed in the use of seizure disorders and panic attacks!. I actually saw a doctor today that believes klonopin is much safer and better for you than xanax!. Xanax is not so much prescribed for seizure disorders, just anxiety and panic attacks!. So the two drugs are similar but klonopin has a slower onset of action but lasts longer-almost like an extended release med!. Xanax IR has a quick onset but doesn't last as long unless you take the CR formula (which has a slower onset)!. Both effect GABA, a neurotransmitter associated with inhibition!.

Klonopin is addictive!. It is in the same class of drugs as valium!. It is highly sedative and may make you too tired to function the following day!. It is effective for a long time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
